There Is Only One Healing Holidays

In twenty years of specialist wellness travel, we have received thousands of calls, emails and messages from clients at every stage of their journey, some curious, some unwell, some simply in need of rest. We have always done our best to answer each one with the same care and attention.

Recently, however, we have been receiving a different kind of message. And it has prompted us to write something we never thought we would need to.

We need to set the record straight.

We have recently had a growing number of clients ask us the same question:

"Is there more than one Healing Holidays?"

The answer is simple.

No. There is only one.

And we want to make sure that every client, past, present and future, knows exactly where to find us, and how to recognise us.

Founded with purpose. Built over decades.

Healing Holidays was founded in 2004 by Frances Geoghegan, driven by a belief that wellness travel deserved the same level of expertise, curation and personal care as any other specialist discipline.

What began as a pioneering idea, that the right retreat, properly matched to the right person, could be genuinely life-changing, has grown into two decades of uninterrupted specialist practice.

Frances has spent those twenty years at the heart of the global wellness industry. She is not simply a travel agent who sells spa holidays. She is one of the most recognised voices in international wellness travel.

Healing Holidays Awards & Recognition

These are not marketing claims. They are a matter of public, verifiable record.

Our Team. Our Difference.

Behind Frances is a team of specialists who share the same philosophy: that every client deserves advice that is honest, considered and genuinely expert.

Our consultants do not work from brochures. They know the properties. They have visited the clinics, slept in the rooms, spoken with the medical directors. When they make a recommendation, it is because they believe, deeply, that it is the right one for you.

Meet our team of experts.

This is what our clients tell us, in their own words.

What our clients say

At Healing Holidays, we measure our success not in bookings, but in the moments our clients describe when they return. The reviews below, collected independently on Google, reflect something no award can fully capture: the trust our clients place in us, and what happens when that trust is honoured.

"Frances always takes the time to discuss with me in detail my needs and goals to help select the correct retreat. I have used Healing Holidays on several occasions and have recommended many friends. They have all had excellent help, advice and service."

Sian Parry Jones ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Frances, I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude for your exceptional efforts in organising my recent visit to Palazzo Fiuggi Medical Resort. Your meticulous planning and attention to detail exceeded my expectations in every way. The personalised wellness programme crafted under your guidance contributed significantly to my overall well-being. I am already contemplating my next visit."

Barry Joseph Fitzpatrick ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Laura is extremely knowledgeable and provides sound, serious, and reliable advice. I booked a 21-day Panchakarma treatment at Six Senses Vana through Healing Holidays. It was a truly superb experience that I would recommend to anyone looking for a serious reset."

Monique van Steenbergen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Jessica's advice was knowledgeable and considered all our requirements. Her recommendation, the Zulal Wellness Resort in Qatar, was a delight. It had everything we needed and more. Jessica arranged the perfect journey, everything was made easy and trouble-free. We're looking forward to consulting Jessica on our next Healing Holiday."

Shannon Farrington ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"Angelica at Healing Holidays was exceptional, literally sorting the entire trip without me having to do much. We discovered Healing Holidays by chance in the Sunday Times and used them to book a last-minute, much-needed Spa break at Lefay in Lake Garda. We wouldn't hesitate to use them again."

Sara Randall ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

"From start to finish, the whole trip was seamless and ran like clockwork, thanks to Klaudia at Healing Holidays and her exceptional organisation and attention to detail. At Ananda, the staff arranged a private ceremony to celebrate my late husband's birthday on the roof of the hotel with a priest. It was the most special thing and will stay in my heart forever. So THANK YOU again Klaudia for all of your hard work, attention to detail and for making it all so wonderful. It was the best holiday ever. With love and gratitude."

Jill Green ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

So why the confusion?

We are increasingly seeing the name Healing Holidays appearing in search results and paid advertising associated with other travel companies.

This is not accidental. Other companies are actively using our name in their Google ads, on comparison websites, and across online platforms, to intercept clients who are specifically looking for us.

Understandably, this can leave clients wondering whether they are looking at the genuine Healing Holidays or another company offering wellness travel.

We want to be absolutely clear: there is one Healing Holidays. We are it.
